Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of the Hon. James Savage, LL. D : Late President of the Massachusetts Historical Society The name of Savage has been well known in New England for nearly two and a half centuries. Thomas Savage, the founder of the family, arrived in Boston in the year 1635, probably one of those who accompanied Sir Henry Vane. He was twenty-seven years old at the time. In 1637, he married Faith Hutchinson, daughter of the celebrated Ann Hutchinson, who gave our fathers so much trouble by her peculiar theological opinions, and her obstinacy in adhering to them. Thomas Savage was a man of influence and consideration in the infant colony up to the time of his death in 1682, and held many offices, both civil and military. He was often one of the representatives of the town in the General Court, was Speaker in 1659 and frequently afterward. In 1680, he was chosen by the Colony one of the Assistants, which office he held till his death. He was one of a committee appointed in 1673 to erect a barricade in the harbor of Boston for defence against a fleet then expected from Holland. Out of this barricade grew, in less than forty years, the Long Wharf, a small portion of which has continued ever since the property of some member or members of the family. Thomas Savage was Captain of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, and was commander of the forces in King Philip´s War at its opening, and served during its continuance with reputation. Upon his death, a funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Samuel Willard, pastor of the Third Church, of which Major Savage was one of the founders. The sermon was printed in 1684 by Samuel Green. A copy of this sermon was given to Mr. James Savage, the subject of this Memoir, by Mr. John Farmer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
